    As you ride out of Sibulan on its north side, across the bridge maybe 1000 meters of so there is a road going left towards the mountains that has an entry to a very active quarry. I am wondering if anyone knows what its is. Appears to be either sandstone or limestone. Both have value crushed. If its limestone Im thinking about following one of the trucks out to a crusher plant and see if I can purchase crushed limestone for land/garden applications. You know.. 50 kilo down to 2-5 kilo bags for home use. Does anyone know if its limestone or possibly know the crusher plant that I could try to buy limestone by the sack? I passed the quarry going down the side road and was passed by no less than 3 dumptrucks full of rock on their way out in less than 5 minutes.

    Thanks

    I think you will find that is only sand and gravel quarry,it's where the shorting range is. Most of the crushed stone is from Pamplona,just west of tanjay as far as I know.
